PUBG: Battlegrounds introduces new co-op mode Xeno Point
PUBG: Battlegrounds has introduced an exciting new co-op mode called Xeno Point, giving players a fresh way to experience the game. Since launching in 2017, PUBG has remained one of the defining titles in the battle royale genre. Despite growing competition, the game has consistently delivered updates that refine its core mechanics and content, helping it maintain a loyal player base.
New co-op mode Xeno Point
The latest update, Update 41.1, brings the Xeno Point mode with it. In this mode, players team up to fight off an alien invasion on Miramar. The mode can be accessed through the Arcade section, and each session begins in the HUB, where players enter through open doors and battle waves of enemies. While taking on the Xenos, players must also complete a series of objectives and keep an eye on each other’s vital stats and gear. Players can tailor their playstyle with Blue Chip Skills and unleash Super abilities.
Stellar Blade crossover
Notably, the update also introduces the long-awaited crossover with Stellar Blade. Eve from the game has been added as the third Contender in PUBG, available to unlock in the Workshop. Eve is the first Ultimate Contender in PUBG, and as she levels up, her appearance and hair color evolve through different stages. This lets players create a unique look for the character. The crossover is further expanded with kill effects, emotes, lobby poses, a parachute, and a backpack set that can be collected and used in battle.
Gameplay improvements and new features
Alongside the new mode, gameplay improvements and new features have also been added, including expansions to the destructible terrain feature, which is now available on Erangel as well, and the introduction of new weapon attachments. Emergency Support Flare and the Blue Chip Tower have also been added, giving players strategic advantages during matches.
